Are you truly ready to take the red pill?

Please don’t be offended, dear reader. I am neither challenging nor questioning your capacity of opening yourself to the higher truth. I am not implying at all that you are not mature or enlightened enough to handle the reality.Taking the red pill and its aftermath might get more complex than you might anticipate. Therefore, please think before you take it.

Speaking of the ‘reality‘, it would be very beneficial to remind that an INFINITE NUMBER OF realities exist, on different dimensions and planes. Anything that is a part of our daily lives as a ‘reality’ here on the 3rd plane, might not be the reality on different dimensions, planes or even on different timelines.

After reminding it, let’s focus on ‘our reality‘, as we commonly experience it here on planet Earth.

How similar & comparable is the situation of taking the red pill in  spiritual sense, to that other red pill, which became legendary in urban lexicon, thanks to the movie “Matrix’? Remarkably similar!

Are we talking about the same red pill?

Do you remember those famous quotes of the fictional movie character ‘Morpheus‘ (by Laurance Fishburne)  from the original 1.movie, ‘The Matrix’, released in year 1999?

Let’s shortly remind ourselves, how Morpheus character described the choice between taking the ‘Red pill vs. Blue pill’ to other immortal character “Neo” in the same movie:

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

I am about to offer you the same chance to make a decision, just like Morpheus did for Neo. One thing is crucial to accept & understand: It is absolutely up to our free will to decide taking the red pill or to return it. Think before you take it. It will be for our best & highest good, if the decision of ‘taking the red pill’ is 100% backed up by our free will, thus we honor our basic human right of freedom of choice.

“Will I look like a looser if I don’t take the red pill?”

Don’t make such a decision while feeling under peer pressure. Worrying about what other people (your family, your circle of friends, your peers in your spiritual circle etc.) would possibly think about you, will  NOT serve you in the best & highest way. Therefore, think before you take it. Once you take the red pill, the possible consequences -the beauty & freedom it will bring to your life, as well as the struggle- of your decision will become part of YOUR daily life, NOT THEIRS.

Profound A-Ha moments, self-realization and synchronicities will likely start to happen in your daily life. Once you decide taking the red pill, your your vibration will start increasing. There will be numerous beautiful & profound experiences in your day-to-day life, in various forms of ‘EUREKA effect‘. Each of these experiences will possibly make your day, they will motivate you to continue on your journey, for diving deeper, going farther and seeing broader.

What I briefly described above is absolutely NOT the whole picture! The way you vibrate and its frequency will change. Your inner light (divine essence) will start to shine brighter and brighter… which will turn you to a clear target of lower vibratory beings of any kind: Human or non-human. These are the so-called ‘Energy Vampires‘.

“What do you mean by ‘Energy Vampires‘?”

Energy vampires and their intentions vary. At the lower end there are relatively innocent chatter boxes. Somewhere in the mid-section we may find the archetype of friends or acquaintances who often have something to complain about. On the other end of the spectrum there are non-physical beings that intend to feed themselves off of your energy reserves. A better developed awareness will help you shape your responses towards the human ones for sure. Thanks to your higher awareness, you can firstly spot them, understand their patterns, and secondly put a distance between yourselves and them.

It is not that easy to detect & notice all of them right on spot! Some non-physical forms are true masters of hiding themselves. They may be regularly placing the seeds of negative thoughts, such as worry, anxiety, feeling isolated, being judgemental etc., and you wouldn’t even notice that you are under their influence.

As a result of taking the red pill, you will possibly become more and more attractive for these thought or energy forms. That’s why I keep on repeating it: “Think before you take it.”

“I thought I would become invincible by taking the red pill”

Becoming fully aware of ‘the matrix’, making conscious decisions, awakening yourself, and then eventually becoming ‘invincible‘, is surely going to happen to you, but in the long run.

Before that takes place, you will need to walk (or run or fly above) your path. Becoming fully awaken, conscious & enlightened is NOT going to happen overnight! The brighter your inner light will shine, the more of a ‘prospect‘ you will seem to those various thought & energy forms. They will probably do all their tricks to attach themselves on you, perhaps gradually start invading your energy field, and -in extreme cases- own you.

This is a game for them. It is not a game of a naive, playful & child-like sense and context. Its their game of survival and their polarity of serving themselves!

Downsides of taking the red pill

Without getting ourselves into unnecessary details, for the sake of easy-readability of this article, it is sufficient for you to know now, the following: Some of these beings are unwillingly stuck here on this dimension & plane, which may be caused by a wide variety of reasons. Those beings need to attach themselves to a higher source of life energy. The brighter your inner light becomes, the more you will attract their attention, thus they will want to attach themselves onto you.

Yes, there are certain practices and exercises to protect your energy field. Some of those practices will help you fairly well. However, we are creatures of multi-layers and we stored plenty of past experiences, emotions, beliefs, programs, related to them. These entities or thought forms will likely trigger all the unresolved issues that you still carry in your field.

To your surprise, you may even be subconsciously permitting these entities to stay within your energy field and suck your energy. These possible agreements need to be detected, cancelled and replaced with the most suitable forms on energies. You may put yourself in a deep meditative state for scanning your field, finding out such programs and replace them. Alternatively, you may ask for the help of an experienced, well-trained and a certified healer, to do it for you.

Once you take the red pill, your personal marathon starts!

After taking the red pill, there is only one way to walk or run: In the direction of light! This is your life, this is your personal marathon. You don’t need to run with all your power. You can walk, jog, run, sprint… it is all up to you. Once it starts, there would be only one thing I humbly suggest you NOT to do: Do not stop fully!

Bottom line is the following: After taking the red pill you can not stop your personal journey of healing yourself! Are you not so sure of what healing is and what self-healing can mean for you? Please read my related article.

Once you take hero’s journey, you simply can not give up working on all your issues one after another, resolve them, forgive all the people involved in -including yourself- all major situations, and then eventually heal yourself. If you give up running this marathon, your daily life will slowly become almost unbearable for you to live it. And it’s not only about this, but also the following fact: You simply can not return to your old life, as if nothing had happened!

Think therefore, before you take it, so that the decision will be 100% yours, and you won’t have the slightest possibility to blame anybody and anything, for your conscious decision. Once you accept & embrace yourself as you are, and take ownership and full the responsibility, your journey will start. The journey might take you a long time, but once it is completed, you may think as this: “It was so much worth it!”

The post Taking the red pill! Think before you take it appeared first on Sessions 2 Transform: Healing & Transformative Coaching.

Why do you (we) feel stuck in life?

So many of us feel in a similar way, but few of us are ready to admit it. But, why do you (we) feel stuck in life, in the first place? And why can not we even talk about it, openly?

Some of us fear to be judged, criticized, and even ridiculed by all those people, with whom we’ve spent long years. Admitting that we feel stuck in life, means to so many of us in a similar way: Admitting that we are failures…losers…in life. Perhaps, we were among the crowd which continuously ridicules, until recently. And now? What has changed? Why is it happening to us now? Feeling stuck? Is it because we are getting… Eehhm, older? Is this kind of an indicator for mid-life crisis?

A wiser-than-before client vocalized the following sentences below, in a very emotional tone, some days ago:

I have invested 25+ years into my career. I gave my everything to it. Thinking of starting it all over again feels like torture.
Money and benefits don’t motivate me anymore. Nothing is meaningful. I want to feel the same way as I felt when I was 17.
I want to change my life, but I am afraid my friends and family will criticize me.
People ridicule the ones who quit their well paying jobs and go after their passion. I have no courage to face this.

These type of comments and other similar ones make me think: Why do we have so limited empathy for others, when it comes to ‘admitting of a much needed change’?. Is it really true that we never think ‘it’ may also happen to us some day? It seems that this ‘one day’ has (un)surprisingly come for many of us, now more commonly than before, and it won’t suddenly disappear, anytime soon.

Why now, more than before?

The traditional carrots of the game, ‘promotion’, ‘that guy/girl’, ‘that car’, ‘that holiday’, ‘that fancy new high-tech toy’ don’t motivate many people anymore, like it always did before. Is there something wrong with you? Why are you (we) feeling stuck in life?

What if I tell you that you may be just slowly starting to ‘wake up from a dream to a different reality’? A dream that you didn’t know you were right in it, for a significant portion of your life?

An unsurprising common (imaginary) first response:

“What? Dream? Is this a joke? I am telling you that I feel stuck in life and ask why, but you are talking about dreams! Are you messing up with me? What is this? A cheap Sci-fi article?”

Well, I have good news for you:

Your senses are waking up!

First and foremost, when you start seeing everything through a different perspective, don’t start blaming yourself. Self-bashing absolutely wouldn’t help you, even a slightest bit. Be gentle and compassionate with yourself.

Continuously circulating those self-smashing thoughts in your mind, such as “I’ve been a fool and blind all those years”, “How could I act all this time as if I was hypnotized?”, “I have wasted all my life”, is just a waste of time and nerves.  It is precisely what ‘they’ want you to keep repeating to yourself. Are you going to continue to play this game of life, their way?

Start slowly. First weeks are crucially important. Increase your awareness, broaden your perspective, but don’t overwhelm yourself. Try to maintain a child-like curiosity accompanying your mood & your psyche, rediscovering all about your life. See it from the lighter side. You will need some good tools at this stage.

Self-compassion and Mindfulness

Self-compassion and mindfulness can create miracles. How about a ‘Mindful self-compassion’? Leading experts on mindful self-compassion movement Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer emphasize how self-kindness, recognition of our humanity, and mindfulness give us the strength to thrive. Their quote about mindfulness is so:

“When we are mindful of our struggles, and respond to ourselves with compassion, kindness, and support in times of difficulty, things start to change.”

Mindful.org provides a beautiful definition of self-compassion in plain English:

“Self-compassion involves treating yourself the way you would treat a friend who is having a hard time—even if your friend blew it or is feeling inadequate, or is just facing a tough life challenge.”

Things started to feel lighter. You can feel it. Your emotional state, your  energy frequency level started to increase, toward the upper half of of the spectrum of all emotions that we humans perceive. You are slowly moving out of the field, in which ‘they’ used to control you. As a response, ‘they’ may try to manipulate your thoughts through disinformation. Discrediting self-compassion and mindfulness while hailing self-criticism is a very old and common one.

Self-Criticism vs. Self-Compassion

Fear vs. kindness… Speculation vs. truth… Myth vs. reality…

Let’s point out some common ones. Mindful.org offers a very good summary of them. The main ones are as below:

Fear: Self-compassion will make us weak and vulnerable.

Truth: In fact, self-compassion is a reliable source of inner strength that confers courage and enhances resilience when we’re faced with difficulties. Research shows self-compassionate people are better able to cope with tough situations like divorce, trauma, or chronic pain.

Fear: Self-compassion is really the same as being self-indulgent.

Truth: It’s actually just the opposite. Compassion inclines us toward long-term health and well-being, not short-term pleasure (just as a compassionate mother doesn’t let her child eat all the ice cream she wants, but says, “eat your vegetables”).

Fear: Self-compassion is really a form of making excuses for bad behavior.

truth: Actually, self-compassion provides the safety needed to admit mistakes rather than needing to blame someone else for them.

Fear: Self-criticism is an effective motivator. 

Truth: It’s not. Our self-criticism tends to undermine self-confidence and leads to fear of failure. If we’re self-compassionate, we will still be motivated to reach our goals—not because we’re inadequate as we are, but because we care about ourselves and want to reach our full potential.

This one was good! Now we are becoming more aware, calmer and a little wiser 🙂 We are building good foundations here, and they will enable us to broaden our perspective, help us  to ask the right questions.

Your inner wisdom started talking to you louder!

Since we feel calmer now, let’s focus to the original question: Why do you feel stuck in life? Why did you start thinking so, only lately? And who is that ‘voice’ you hear in your mind? Could it be someone who wants nothing, but the best for you?

Take a few deep but slow breaths, relax, and open up yourself to all the possibilities and perspectives.

Perhaps a different type of analogy here can also help us further:

When someone decides to spend long hours in the kitchen everyday, for the first time in their lives (a natural consequence of recent ‘Stay-At-Home & Stay-safe’ policies?), it could be a wise move to focus on the recipes you already knew and practiced before. This way, you will soon become confident and the end product of that recipe will become tastier and tastier every single time.

Now, let’s apply this approach to your life, and your new quest of ‘unclogging the tubes’ that somehow represent the (un)flow in your life. What do you remember from your childhood? Your teen years? Very early twenties? The code or the clue may very well be hiding there. What made you really forget about time? What was that one thing you loved to do, and every single time you found yourself ‘in the flow‘?

Don’t literally focus on the action itself? Focus on how it made you feel. Why was it so important for you? Focus on the positive feelings it triggered in you. And now ask yourself: “How can you replicate similar feelings, such as joy, a child-like curiosity, passion, being one with it, forgetting about the rest of the world etc.? Feel free to insert here your own authentic and sincere feelings form those times. Please don’t tell me that you are not interested in feeling the same way, as you used to feel before.

You have already taken the ‘Red Pill’. There is no return from this point!

Those questions you asked yourself were the equivalence of taking the ‘red pill’! Is that the good news or the bad one? ‘The ignorance is bliss’ idiom doesn’t apply well anymore to our 21st century world, already for a long time. And the fact that you’ve been swallowing the ‘Blue Pill’ sor far, didn’t help you much, anyway. Just be aware that you will need to contentiously work on yourself, preferably everyday, from this point on. Your will become aware of more and more of those limitations, blockages, illusions, and you will not be able to stand them, anymore. So your journey of ‘upward spiraling’ will take place of feeling stuck in life.

Back to the initial question: Why do you feel stuck in life? Because your inner intelligence wants you to start making positive changes in your life. Take this feeling of being stuck as a starting gun, and begin your journey by following your intuition on the path of empowering yourself. Celebrate it, don’t feel down because of it!

Sometime in the near future, you will realize what kind of a role this ‘feeling of being stuck’ played in your life, and how it kick-started your own inner journey. And when that time comes, you will feel a true gratitude in your heart, for feeling this way in the past. Celebrate it!
